RavenCrowwise: Denuvo has been Removed from Resident Evil Village, do you guys believe this is a step in the right direction?
Oh heck yeah it is! We should be seeing cheaper prices for it too since Denuvo charges companies a monthly fee to keep it active. Sadly I don't think it will be coming to Gog since none of the other RE titles are here but never say never.

Ow, you're so sweetly innocent to think less costs means they'd lower the price. Like those people that thought Epic taking a lower cut would mean the prices would be lower there.

True, and that surely can be said for newer, and remake versions. I think GOG still has a case and a chance to release old, original, resident evil titles, from back in the day. And its definately a good sign if more games start dropping DRM. Its best for players, will experience the way the games were truely meant to be played. And a chance for Gog to add them to their Library.

After the removal of Denuvo, Resident Evil Village has joined the ranks of other games such as Devil May Cry 5, Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 2 Remake, and Resident Evil 3 Remake, that had Denuvo removed post-release. This is a positive development for most PC gamers since they no longer have to worry about any performance-related problems caused by Denuvo.

Always a good move to remove Denuvo.
And at the latest once the game's old and/or dirt-cheap in sales a lot, hopefully they'll remove the Steam-DRM too.

Slick_JMista: Capcom not being willing to release RE0 nad RE1 on gog is insane at this point.
And also not releasing old PC versions of RE1, RE2, and RE3 also.

It's not like those versions have any integrated proprietary non-sense like Steamworks, Uplay, Origin, or anything else for client-app/online "suites" - those versions existed before Steam and its 5000 clones came about.

NuffCatnip: I'd love more Capcom titles, but let's be honest, if we get something, it definitely won't be something as recent as RE: Village. :)
I know I mentioned old versions of RE1, RE2, and RE3...

...but I'd be cool w/ also old versions of RE4 UHD (that's the one on Steam - that version's awesome and having it without DRM would be sweet here), RE5 Gold, RE6, RE Revelations 1, RE Revelations 2 Complete, RE: ORC Complete, RE7 Gold, RE2 Remake, RE3 Remake and any other RE games coming here.

Of course RE5 and RE6 should work offline DRM-FREE style and whatnot - but those should also get additional optional LAN/TCP-IP and Galaxy support for online stuff.

I wish they'd port RE: Code Veronica to PC.

Okay, now they need to take it off of Monster Hunter Rise, a game designed with portability in mind that needs Denuvo to authenticate every 24 hours and increases your game boot time by 2-3 mins while the authentication connection times out if you're offline. Why would you ever be offline I mean? Airports, hotels, planes have wi-fi right?
I'd rather we lobby for indie or AA titles that actually stand a chance at getting a GOG release, rather than plead into the void that a Japanese company like Capcom would release their stuff. I was surprised we even got Konami to release a tiny handful of their older games, and even then MGS2 got removed and it still hasn't returned.

We need early access AA games like V Rising and Fabledom on GOG, that would be great.

I'm going to be a dissenting voice and say NO, Denuvo being removed is not a step in the right direction, at least considering how things continue to play out in the PC gaming market.

Context: I am a hard-line DRM-free gamer who left PC gaming for well over a decade due to my disgust at Scheme and its proprietary DRM taking over nearly everything.

For practical purposes, though, believe it or not I am actually "pro-Denuvo" in the sense I want big games to keep having it and it not getting removed.

My reasoning: gamers show disgust at Denuvo, but not "milder" forms of DRM like Schemeworks, despite it all being DRM. Therefore, if Denuvo becomes worse, there is a chance these gamers who hate Denuvo so much would finally realize DRM needs to go entirely, instead of making excuses for why Scheme DRM is okay, why they can use some dll/emulator thing to play its games, etc. Contrast that currently, when Denuvo is removed, they act like it's some great victory and that now the battle for pro-consumer practices has concluded.
